Tasting Notes

Nose: Initial impressions are light and sweet, dominated by caramel and vanilla. Hints of corn come through, along with a touch of faint oak and a very subtle spice, perhaps nutmeg or cinnamon. It's clean and approachable.

Palate: The entry is soft and mellow, with a straightforward sweetness of brown sugar and candied corn. There's a delicate presence of oak, providing a gentle tannic structure without bitterness. A mild peppery spice emerges mid-palate, quickly followed by a return to a simple, sweet profile. It's easy-drinking and light-bodied.

Finish: The finish is relatively short and clean, leaving a lingering sweetness of vanilla and a whisper of wood spice. It's smooth, with minimal heat due to its lower proof, and fades pleasantly without any harsh aftertaste.
